Unlike the earlier reviewer, I think various aspects of fund raising was included. The writer admitted the point if one million Obama supporters gave the max was unrealistic. But the overall sense of the story and the facts as we have heard from other sources indicate that McCain is having a rough time raising money and will be behind the 8 ball which is a reversal of fortunes of the Parties. I thought this was a well done and interesting article.

This was filler, for fillers sake. A talking head, blah blah ect. The republican money machine will kick into gear. they will not give up power easily or legally(Diebold lives). all the article did was make a paycheck.

Cummings needs more sources and a bit more organization in her presentation of money numbers. It is hard for the reader to make heads or tails of who has what and why. What about McCain's private vs. public finance conflict? Is his campaign going to figure out a way to do both and get away with it? Also, this election is serious stuff. The journalist should not be throwing around numbers in the billions that will never exist, only to dramatize her point. This subtracts credibility.
